It will probably be Paris, but London has an outside shot.
I'd prefer London over Paris.

Yup, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics were amazing, but I also liked Athens. |

Well I am a bit biased obviously, but I highly doubt NYC will be the choice. and also in reality, is would probably be the worst choice: imagine the security/threats, the traffic, the congestion of people/places/things??
So for obvious reasons, it would be better elsewhere, but for my own selfish reasons, of course NYC!!! |

Other than the West Side Stadium (if that ever gets built), wouldn't most of it be in New Jersey? |

Apaprently they nixed the idea of the Olympic stadium (they didn't like the ideas of the design) and are using the Stadium in Queens for opening ceremony, track, stuff like that. |

As much as I agree with the security mess that will be created if the Olimpic games are held in NYC, I still think they are in tight lead to Paris. However, if you look at the past schedule, Paris is in line to get the games.

Paris 1900
St. Louis 1904
London 1908
Stockholm 1912
Antwerp 1920
Paris 1924

Los Angeles 1932
Berlin 1936
London 1948
Helsinki 1952
Melbourne 1956
Rome 1960
Tokyo 1964
Mexico City 1968
Munich 1972
Montreal 1976
Moscow 1980
Los Angeles 1984
